Located in the heart of Coastal Georgia, Savannah is a city of rare natural beauty - of azaleas in bloom and stately oaks draped with Spanish moss. These landscapes have been lovingly enhanced by two centuries of manmade splendor, from distinctive park-like squares and cobblestone streets to the magnificent architecture of storied antebellum homes and churches. Considered a sparkling new jewel located in Savannah's historic district, the AVIA hotel was named to the Condé Nast Traveler's Top New Hotels list for 2009. This contemporary gem beckons guests to be pampered in its savvy and sophisticated surroundings. Just steps outside the AVIA's door you will find yourself emerged in all the best Savannah has to offer. Award winning restaurants like Paula Deen's The Lady & Sons, world-renowned steak houses, and casual crab houses are a short stroll away. Boutique shops are in abundance and there is no end to the sight-seeing excursions available - from historical tours to art galleries to haunted carriage rides - there's something for every interest!
